Harris Graphics Corp.

December 11, 1985|By Deanne Brandon

NEW CHAIRMAN. The board of Harris Graphics Corp. has elevated a board member to chairman. Lawrence Hyde, 61, who recently retired as president of AM General Corp., an LTV Corp. subsidiary, will succeed James E. Pruitt, chairman since 1983. Pruitt will remain as president and chief executive officer. Melbourne-based Harris Graphics, the world's largest manufacturer of printing equipment, has attributed declining profits in the past two quarters to the overvalued dollar and international competition. Hyde's election is ''a strengthening of our ability to deal with that global market,'' Harris treasurer James Dunn said.
